# REFLECTION
# It was great building on the code from the previous challenge as it really cemented how a class is constructed
# It also made a few things click for me around variables and scope.
# As always I was introduced to a few new sneaky methods that aided a lot.
# I was really tested with the bonus challenged (get_diagonal) and am not 100% happy with my effort but will 
# return and update maybe in a pairing session or once I have a pair wave!
